Capay Valley Land Company.

Prior to the location of the line of the
Woodland, Capay and Clear Lake Rail-
road, the Capay Valley Land Company, a
corporation composed chiefly of the Direc-
tors and Officers of the Southern Pacific
Company, purchased on She line Of the
proposed road. and chiefly in Capay Val
lev itself, through which the road is being
extended from Madison in Yolo county
several large bodies of the choicest lands to
he found in that beautiful and fertile val
lev. The construction Of the Woodland,
Capay and Clear Lake Railroad is being
pushed with great energy, and will reach
very early completion. The line Of this
road passes Immediately through the lands
owned by the Capay Valley Land Com
pany, which lands will be Immediately sub
divided into small tracts, several town sites
established and the lands and the town
property placed on the market.
Capay Valley is located on the western
side of Yolo county, and is n of the most
fertile and picturesque valleys on the Pa
citic Coast. The lands in this valley have
heretofore been owned in large holdings;
the growing of wheat has been the chief
agricultural industry, which owing to tire
great fertility of the soil, the warmth and
saluhrity of the climate, the heavy annual
precipitation of rain, and the perfect pro.
lection which the confguration of the val
lev affords against north winds, has proven
highly profitable. At intervals, however,
throughout tie valley, orchards may be
seen, and these experiments in the line of
horticulture have demonstrated the full Ca
liabilities of the valley for the growth of
ali citrus. semi.tropical and temperate
fruits, Orange and lemon trees of most
thrifty growth may be seen in the gardens
and orchards. Grapes, apricots, figs,
pears. cherries, almonds, peaches, and all
the other fruits to be found in the most ia
yored localities, reach here to the greatest
perfection. The very earliest fruits and
vegetables appearing in San Francisco and
other markets are grown in this valley.
With respect to early production, Capay
Valley ranks fully with, if not superior to
the celebrated Vaca and Pleasant Valleys.
This fact alone confers g very high premium
upon the lands to be offered. The or
